Pinneco Core® Credited for Big Agnes Betty SL 27 Win in Outside
Magazine Online for Top 4 Women’s Sleeping Bags of Summer
2013: Best in Wet Climate
®
HONG KONG, Summer 2013 – Pinneco Core ’s technology was credited for Big Agnes’ Betty SL 27 win in the
Top 4 Sleeping Bags for Women: Best in Wet Climate.
The Outside Magazine reviewed that synthetic insulation is a user’s best bet as it has greater water repellency.
®
Big Agnes’ embracement of the Pinneco Core technology was highlighted as its greatest gain, as it is proven
that the short-stapled fiber layers form a high pressure zone within the insulation, pumping out moisture by an
evaporative cooling mechanism to advance in proprietary moisture management.
Combined with the Insotect Tubic™ system with the presence of Vertical Thermal Channel™ (VTC) and
®
Insotect’s proprietary DualVault™, along with Pinneco Core ’s ability to anchor this tubular construction, the
Betty SL 27’s performance is greatly maximized.
Along with Big Agnes’ Betty SL 27 win for Best in Wet Climate, Kelty Women’s Ignite DriDown 20 / EN28 won
Best for: Bang for your buck, Mountain Hardwear’s Phantasia 32 won Best for: Weight Saver, and Nemo’s
Harmony 40 and Rhapsody 30 won Best for: Active Sleeper.
